My husband was in a business dinner and they walked some of gaslamp afterwards. After they parted ways, he needed to use the bathroom so he ran in the closest restaurant. They said he couldn't use it unless he was a customer. I totally get that but they were packed out so it made no sense.... Either way, he bought a chicken quesadilla to go. He brought it back to the room for me and our sons to have. It tasted good...until my youngest son spit out a piece of plastic he found inside the quesadilla. My Husband called about it the next day bc they were then closed. Their response was "oops sorry" like wth?! They then said "bring it back along with the plastic." No mention of a refund or investigation of how it happened. And by that point, room service had came and took the box of the rest of the food plus no one wanted to fight downtown traffic and pay to park to have them possibly offer us another quesadilla . 🙄 I gave this place a 1 star bc I can't go lower but again the food we did eat, minus the...

Wow! Doesn't look like much on the outside, but the food is great! I'm a pretty picky eater/harsh critic, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for lunch! I went twice during my stay, the first time I got the SD Club, and it was quality deli turkey, bacon, etc, the lemon pepper boneless wings were spot on. (crispy flavorful, full of moist white meat inside) and the tots were salted perfect.

The second visit, I had to get the lemon pepper boneless wings and tots again, and this time got a chicken wrap, and it was loaded with good quality/flavorful chicken. Very pleased with the pricing as well. Hands down the best value food for dollar in the downtown area! Both times I waddled away fat and happy!

Wait staff was remarkable as well, very attentive and personable.

(sorry no pictures, it was too good, that I kept diving in and scarfing it down before I'd think of...

Decided to try this place because it's near the Balboa theatre. It's open seating, find a table and sit. lol We were greeted with menus quickly, and our food came out super fast! The waitress was friendly. It was Happy hour (3-8), so half off all drinks and a few appetizer specials. The foods did come out at different time, but that was kind of fun. It paced us. lol It looked like everyone that worked there helped everyone else out, we had different people check in on us, drop off food, or pick up empty plates. Super impressive, except then we didn't know who to tip out haha The food itself was decent. Nothing amazing, but not terrible. I'll come back again for happy hour to see if they have any thing with more flavor lol

This place is great! My friends and I were searching for a place that had an early Thursday Happy Hour and this place has a 3pm to 8pm Happy Hour of half off all drinks (at least on Thursdays). Their cocktails and drop shots have several interesting combinations that you'll probabbly want to try all. I tried their Passion Royale (on the left) and a Cactus Cooler drop shot. They were awesome, and they also have a great list of beers and IPAs. Will definitely return and most likely try the food next time. Also I'd loke to give a shout out to our waitress, Madison, who was very helpful and a lot fun to interact with.
